Week 15 NFL picks for Buccaneers vs. Packers 

Before tuning into Sunday's Packers vs. Buccaneers game, you need to see the NFL picks from SportsLine's advanced computer model. The model, which simulates every NFL game 10,000 times, is up well over $7,000 for $100 players on top-rated NFL picks since its inception. The model enters Week 15 of the 2023 NFL season on an incredible 176-129 run on top-rated NFL picks that dates back to the 2017 season. It is also on a 30-21 roll on top-rated NFL picks since Week 7 of last season.

For Bucs vs. Packers, the model is backing Under 42.5 points to be scored. Thus far, the Buccaneers have only had to play two road games outdoors all season. They made a late-October trip to Buffalo where the temperature was in the mid-60s and then went to San Francisco in mid-November with temperatures once again in the mid-60s.

Sunday's forecast in Green Bay calls for a high of 40 degrees and that's typically been a difficult threshold to cross for the Bucs. Expect the Tampa Bay offense to struggle in the frigid conditions and with two top-13 scoring defenses on the field, the model is predicting that scoring is a struggle in general.

These two teams have met in each of the last three seasons and the under has hit in two of those contests, including a 14-12 battle that Green Bay won last September in Tampa Bay. Those are big reasons why the model is predicting that the under hits in over 50% of simulations. You may be able to stream the game here.
